Since the beginning, Owens & Minor has operated according to the guided principles of trust, integrity, ethics, character, and value. These core values have formed the foundation for Owens & Minor’s successful history and are the building blocks for our future. These values are not only important in our relationships with our customers and suppliers, but they are critical in our relationships with our fellow teammates. None of our successes would have been possible without the combined efforts of our teammates, who come from many diverse backgrounds.

At Owens & Minor, we believe that the diversity among our team is one of our greatest strengths. An inclusive environment enhances our efforts as we work to find solutions for our customers and supply-chain partners. Each of our customers, suppliers, teammates, and the communities we serve has differing views. They trust that we take these views into account as we plan our business. In order for us to be the best we can be, we must clearly understand the needs and perspective of each one.

This must take place without compromising our mission, vision, or values. We realize that not only is it the right thing to do for our customers and communities, but also that the diversity of our teammates will help our company “deliver the difference” in this increasingly diverse market.

It is the continuing policy of Owens & Minor to afford equal employment opportunity to qualified individuals regardless of their race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or other protected class, and to conform to applicable laws and regulations. We will take appropriate action to ensure that individuals are hired, compensated, trained, and promoted on the basis of individual merit. All employment decisions are to be made in such a way as to further the principle of equal employment
opportunity.
